Helvellosebacina sclerotica (Sebacinaceae, Sebacinales), a new species from China, based on morphology and phylogeny

Aug 2026 · Phytotaxa · Vol 770, pp. 97-111 · 0 citations

Abstract

Helvellosebacina sclerotica sp. nov. was found in Yunnan Province, China, which is described here as a new species based on the morphological characteristics and molecular evidence. It is characterized by the resupinate basidiomata, smooth hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with septate generative hyphae, and broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid, smooth basidiospores (11–15 × 5.5–8.0 µm). Phylogenetic analyses of the combined internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit ribosomal RNA (nrLSU) sequence dataset confirmed that the new species belongs to Helvellosebacina. The phylogenetic tree inferred from ITS sequences showed that Helvellosebacina sclerotica was recovered as a sister group to H. granulate. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic analyses of one new species are provided.

Nigropunctata xishuangbannaensis sp. nov. (Pallidoperidiaceae, Xylariales), a new species from bamboo in Yunnan, China

Nigropunctata xishuangbannaensis sp. nov. is introduced in this study, isolated from decaying bamboo culms in Yunnan Province, China. Multigene phylogenetic analyses based on five loci (ITS, LSU, rpb2, tub2, and tef1-α) place this taxon in a well-supported, distinct lineage clearly separated from closely related specie...

Didiclis pseudobisulcata (Selaginellaceae), a new species of the Bisulcata group from northern Thailand and southwest China

Abstract Didiclis pseudobisulcata (Lycopodioidoideae, Selaginellaceae), a new lycophyte species from northern Thailand and southwest China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, it is similar to D. bisulcata but can be reliably distinguished by its dorsal leaves on branches with an arista often more than 3/4 o...
